Latvia is one of
Northern Europe's most exciting places hidden away from
the world's view for over half a century by the Soviet
occupation. Prior to the occupation, Latvia was one of the most
dynamic parts of Europe with exciting possibilities. After the
collapse of the Soviet system, Latvia is struggling to regain
its strength and place in the world.
There is a lot
to do and see in Latvia from the untouched nature to the
historic buildings dating back to the days of the great trading
in the Hanseatic League. You can also see elements of the Soviet
leftovers - this makes you step back and wonder what could
have been without those awful years!
Come and
experience for yourself this very special country and the
possibilities of its exciting future. Granted, after the
economic collapse of 2009 it is not as bright as it should be.
But, we still hold out hope that the leadership will finally
come to their senses and take serious action to simplify the
government and start treating the Latvian people with the
respect that they deserve.
Outside of Riga, be
prepared to step back into history as the infrastructure in most
parts is not yet developed as that in Riga. Be patient and
understanding and you will have a remarkable experience.
